I want to get the best possible dictionary for KOReader. Does anyone have the Oxford English Dictionary in a way that is usable by KOReader? Or does anyone know of a similar dictionary?

What about dictionaries in other languages? Any way to convert Kobo dictionaries to KOReader dictionaries?

Hey there again! I tried the PT-PT dictionary and in terms of content, it is awesome. The formatting is a bit weird though. There is no formatting, everything is in the same phrase, different definitions in the same phrase gets annoying.

Is there a way to style it? For example, a word "XYZ: 1 bla bla 2 bla2 bla2" would look much better like so:

"XYZ:

bla bla
bla2 bla "

Is this something that can be done on my end? I use KOReader.

Hey, I will take a look and try to do the formatting you suggested. I think I already have the script to do this exactly.

You should/could do a tutorial on how to do these sort of things, both get the dictionaries and format them!

Good idea. I'll think about it. I was really busy last week. I will try to fix your dictionary this week.

Can you please check this version of the dictionary I uploaded for you: https://mega.nz/file/TaY0wIDB#O0hjLsm_VYB71ZwRohK4YlYvpsaRTeFGzCK23nU7yvQ I would like to know if it's formatted the same as previous one or better. I don't know have KOreader so I can't test it myself right now. If the formatting is not better I have one more idea of what could be the problem.
